The Ohio State University Airport at Don Scott Field will break ground on the Austin E. Knowlton Executive Terminal and Aviation Learning Center on National Aviation Day, August 19.

OSU President Michael V. Drake and College of Engineering Dean David B. Williams will be joined by representatives of the Austin E. Knowlton Foundation and other guests to celebrate the enhancements.

The two-phase project will support construction of a new aviation education and research facility with state-of-the-art flight simulators, research labs and classrooms. Combined with a modern flight terminal, the new facilities will integrate education with airport operations.
